Premium Clear Durable Reusable LCD Screen Protector 3 Packs for Verizon Samsung Omnia i910 Smartphone

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great protection for your touchphone
This is great protection for your touchphone screen. There are 3 layers to the screen protector, and the top and bottom layers must be removed.

5 Stars Almost fits but covers the whole screen so it’s all good
I could spend more money after the invisible shield but I saw reviews and they were not very enchanting to me. I just went with a cheaper product where if it fails it won’t hurt. Surprisingly this thing does it’s job. Pretty easy to lay it on the screen and is lasting pretty well also.

Works for me for sure.

3 Stars It’s ok. No more than that..
The material is of a good quality, and when applied, it feels soft to the pressure.

But there are some topics to cover…

+ It’s not the brand stated; it’s “The Perfect Solition” (asi is), from Japan.

+ The soft card mentioned it’s not included (in any of the 3 packages. (Important note: it’s also mentioned in the package that it comes, but it doesn’t).

+ The protective PET, has one more film applied for protection on each side with a red ribbon on one, and a blue ribbon on the other. It does not mention at any place, which should be removed for applying it to the cellphone. One may assume it’s the red one (at least it’s the one that makes you pay attention’cause it’s red), but it’s the blue one which you must remove for applying it.

+ The size it’s a little smaller than the omnia’s area to protect. (2mm from the side, almost 5 mm from the bottom are uncovered).

3 Stars Fair
Docking station is good quality but will not work with any protective covers. Has to be removed to use.

4 Stars Serves the Purpose at a great price
This is a great alternative to the expensive Apple branded cradle.

This cradle is weighted nicely so that when you push buttons and navigate on the screen when its in the cradle you don’t feel like its going to get pushed over each time.

I also like that fact that it comes with a USB cable – so I don’t have to use the one from that came with the phone from Apple, that gives me one more cable for charging or syncing from a second computer if needed.

Would be nice if it had a separate headphone jack integrated into the based – but really for the price you can’t beat this cradle.

As for all the comments regarding the inability to use this cradle with a case on the Iphone, you’re pretty much going to have that issue with any Iphone cradle on the market.

4 Stars Good for the money; does not match the look & feel of the iPhone
The product works fine for what it’s designed for. It just isn’t as stylish as the iPhone.

1 Star Don’t plan on using a case……
The charger itself looks decent but I cannot fit my phone in with the case still on it. I tried cutting down the clear plastic support to make it fit but in the end I have to use it without the support. It feels flimsy now and I’m afraid that the connector on the phone will get damaged if it gets bumped while it is in the cradle. I would avoid this product and get something else that is designed well.

5 Stars Well Worth the Price
The main purpose I bought this cradle was to charge and synch my iphone with my computer. This cradle performs these tasks great. There have been other reviews that say you can’t use a case with the cradle. This is true due to the fact that there is a clear plastic support that fits tight to the iphone such that it can slip accurately into the charging prongs. I don’t see any way that a cradle could effectively do this and still allow for all the varieties of iphone cases on the market. The only complaint I would have is that it has a bright blue LED that stays on when plugged in. Even though the LED probably uses a small amount of power, it seems to be for no purpose and is quite brite.

LG Venus VX8800 Phone Pink Verizon Wireless

2 Stars bugs in pink venus
i’ve owned a pink venus for 4 months. the pink phone has 2 bugs that are really annoying. while the phone is set up to both ring and vibrate, it only will do one or the other. this is only a problem with the pink one – the black one works fine.

it also displays a distorted picture when you have photo ids attached to your contacts.

after many many calls & trips to verizon (at least and calls (at least 10) to lg, i have gotten no satisfying response from either. every time i call, they (both) act as if i’m the only person that has ever experienced this & it must just be my phone. (even though i’ve replaced it)

if you must have a venus – make sure you can live with this problem.

1 Star Don’t waste your money
I have had this phone for about 6 months. I loved it for the first month, then the problems started. I agree with the other reviewer about the sides chipping off, I have that problem also. The biggest frustration I have found is that the phone randomly turns itself off and also freezes. I text much more than I talk and found that a delay has developed with the touch pad. I am constantly sending blank texts (pages) because of the delay.

Another problem with this phone is that it is extremely difficult to hear the other person during a phone call. You must be in a completely quiet environment or have the other person speak very loud.

Save your money. I am currently looking for a new phone. I will carefully check the reviews this time before I make a purchase, especially since I will have to pay full price.

1 Star LG Venus
If you are considering the Venus, I strongly recommend you reconsider. I have had a pink Venus for about a year. This is not a durable phone. The slightest bump and the silver paint that surrounds the screen falls off. The top of the phone slides against the keys and peels the paint off of the keys. There are quite a few bugs with my phone, for example: once in a while, when I slide open my phone, the phone types in the keys on the right side of the keyboard (#963) and dials the number. These keys then won’t work until I take the battery out of the phone. Upon taking my phone back to the store where I got it, because some of the silver paint has come off, the store will not replace my phone. If you do get the Venus, be sure to purchase insurance.

2 Stars It’s life was too short…
I bought this product back in April of this year and I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. The charger is very handy since one is able to put a back-up battery in to charge while charging the phone in the cradle. For several months now, however, whenever I try to charge my phone in the cradle it doesn’t make the appropriate contact to do so. I have to wiggle the phone around and play with it until the little charging icon shows on the phone.

It was nice while it lasted but not worth the money…should have had a much longer life than it did.

4 Stars Very Effective!
I got this because my BB8800’s mini-usb charger was fried. This thing is very well made, and useful until your cheating ex-girlfriend douses your Blackberry in the sink…

5 Stars Easy on the USB port method for charging your BlackBerry 8800
The charger provided with the 8800 plugs into the mini-USB port. The Power Station recharges the BlackBerry via a different path: the two contact pads immediately under the push-to-talk switch. You lay the BlackBerry gently into the cradle, two contacts extend from the side of the cradle and begin charging the BlackBerry. At the same time, the power station charges a second battery, allowing you to merely swap batteries instead of recharging your phone.

I find that repeated use of the mini-USB port for charging causes the port to gradually fail (the contact gets progressively flakier with time, sometimes the phone doesn’t charge at all). The Power Station is a far more reliable way of charging your phone.

Highly recommended!

Apple iPhone 1st Gen NOT for iPhone 3G PDA Premium Reusable LCD Screen Full Body Protector with Lint Cleaning Cloth By Ikross

NOTE: NOT compatible with the iPhone 3G

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Great protection for the screen! Worth the money…
I bought this about 4 or 5 months ago from Amazon (BargainCell) for less than a dollar +plus shipping; followed the instructions – cleaned the iphone, wiped it clean with the given cloth and applied the screen. Screen goes in very nicely and no air bubbles. It has been more than four months and the screen still has no air bubbles and is protecting the screen very well.

Another advantage is that this screen smudges MUCH less compared to the original iphone screen and so it doesn’t look that bad. (still you need to clean the surface with moist paper or something once in a week or so).

A great buy!

4 Stars OK but shipping is a rip off
These work great but are not reusable. In fact you must make sure that you attempt this on a hard clean surface like a kitchen countertop. Clean it off then use the included wipe to clean all the smudges and stuff off of the phone. Then remove the backing on the protector and put it on. if as much as a molecule of dust gets under it then you have an air bubble forever. Good luck.

1 Star Wrong product sent
The description is for iPhone screen protectors. I got iTouch screen protectors which do not fit the iphone and and are larger. now i have to get the right ones again!

5 Stars Good screen protector, does the job
This screen protector is very good for what I paid. It came with a lint free cleaning cloth as well that helped before application. It certainly does the job, and it took one try to get it on fairly well. I had to readjust it once, but it was no problem, it didn’t mess it up by peeling it back a little and sticking it back down. It really went on easy and fit well. It will feel like there is a little more friction than the glass but this is not a big deal at all. The screen responds to your touch just as well as if there was no screen protector.

5 Stars SOOOOO MUCH BETTER THAN THE COMPETITION
A sales rep at my local electronics store sold me on a super pricey protector ($22 +tax for ONE) after I brought back a cheaper one because of all the air bubbles. I assumed for the price the protector would be excellent & I didn’t mind the price to protect my recent investment in an iPhone. After carefully reading the directions I applied the $22 protector; The process was quite tedious & messy with the provided spray. Needless to say, I was very disappointed in the result. My phone looked & felt like it had a clear orange peel on the screen. I gave it a week & finally returned it to the store. I came home & searched Amazon & found this protector by iKross. I paid a little over $4 & BargainCell got it to me within 3 days. I was excited to get the package this afternoon but dreaded applying it to my phone. I worried for nothing… This protector went on perfectly the first try with absolutely no air bubbles!!! You can’t even see it… Its absolutely incredible! WELL worth the money.. Could EASILY be sold for more!
